SUMMARY:WEBINAR Contingency plans and early warning systems – how can they help protect forests?
DESCRIPTION:FAO and REUFIS present  \nWEBINAR \nContingency plans and early warning systems – how can they help protect forests? \nDownloads\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForests face new continuous threats from both native pest species with changing biology and behaviour\, as well as from non-native\, invasive species; the latter of which are often very difficult to manage.Recognizing this issue\, the Forest Invasive Species Network for Europe and Central Asia (REUFIS) has created a platform where scientists\, forest managers and policymakers can share information and coordinate activities related to forest invasive species. \nEarly warning/early action (EWEA) systems are valuable tools to mitigate potentially detrimental events such as pest and disease outbreaks through preventative activities. Contingency plans both generic and pest-specific also have the potential to enable more rapid and efficient response to pest incursions and outbreaks. Well formulated EWEA systems and contingency plans provide better preparedness and guidance to industries\, scientists\, regulators\, communities and public on what actions to take and how to implement them in an event of an incursion or outbreak as well as how to recover from after such event. Both EWEA systems and contingency plans can support forest health and resilience towards pest outbreaks. \nThe webinar will: \n\nRaise awareness and preparedness for future pest and disease outbreaks in our forests.\nIntroduce contingency planning and implementation.\nShare experiences on early warning systems and contingency planning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\nShiroma Sathyapala\nForestry Officer\, FAO HQ\n  \nSpeakers \nFerenc Lakatos\nSecretary of REUFIS\nUniversity of Sopron\, Hungary\n\nAndrea Battisti\nUniversity of Padova\, Italy \nYuriy Skrylnyk\nUkrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration\, Ukraine \nGiorgi Berechikidze\nLEPL National Forestry Agency\, Georgia \nHenrik Thurfjell\nSwedish University of Agricultural Sciences\, Sweden \nNatalia I.
